INITIATION SACRAMENTS

STANDING

We stand in church on Sundays in celebration of the Resurrection and also on great holidays to acknowledge that Christ has redeemed and saved us by His Blood.  We acknowledge and accept this salvation by standing as freed men and women in His presence.  Hence it is contrary to our Tradition to kneel on Sundays and from Pascha to Pentecost Sunday evening (May 23, 2021) During the consecration and the invocation of the Holy Spirit, we make a profound bow — a bow at the waist — as a sign of reverence.

СТОЯТИ

Стоїмо у церкві по неділях у святкуванні Воскресіння, а також у великі свята, щоб визнати, що Христос викупив нас своєю кров’ю. Ми визнаємо і приймаємо це спасіння стоячи, як вільні чоловіки і жінки, в Його присутності. Протилежно до нашої традиції клякати, заповідаємо стояти від неділі Пасхи до вечора неділі Зіслання св. Духа (9-го червня, 2019) Під час освячення і призивання Святого Духа, ми робимо глибокий уклін – поклін в пояс – як знак шанобливости.
